Intersting pictures. It looks like the orange can of death has the least amount of filter material of the four. I never use Fram for any reason. I have used the Supertech on my Escort and the AC on my GTP. I haven't had any oil issues with either one but then I change oil regularly!

I don't see the significance of cutting open oil filters without further objective testing. For example the AC Delco (PF47) is made by Champion Labs and has a very low ranking not a mention a piss poor anti-drain back valve.
If you get a chance check out a WIX oil filter. Thats all I use and none of the above.

I've been using the Orange Can of Death for the last 200,000 miles and haven't had any oil issues either. I also change my oil regularly. I see no point in changing now. I'm kinda doing a long term test for Havoline and Fram, and at 371,000 miles I'd say they are doing fine according to my last oil analysis this month.
